Chasing Booty
When cops can't catch the most-wanted criminals, they hire Gaelyn. She comes from a long line of bounty hunters, including her father, uncle, and grandfather. Extensive training in weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, and adverse conditions have seasoned her into a formidable opponent against any contracted hit, whether male, female, alien, or human. She has little fear of the unknown and thrives on adventure. Only one other hunter matches her status--Reese, a Trondite from the small planet of Sor-Trondalag in the Capricornus Sector. And the man has a knack for stealing her contracts. Both cunning and gorgeous, the mix doesn't seem quite fair. But attractiveness holds little power over money. Reese had beaten Gaelyn out of a half-year's pay a scarce three months ago, and she will be damned if he outwits her again. Thinking she's duped Reese back onto Jupiter, Gaelyn isn't too happy when she runs into him on Quaoar at the Blue Moon, an authentic hole-in-the-wall bar tucked at the end of a narrow alley in what would be considered the rough part of town; just the place to find her contracted hit. But Reese not only has the information she needs to find her mark, he also has a business proposal that's too tempting to pass up. And a partnership with Reese just might prove rewarding in a way Gaelyn never expects... [ Science Fiction / Futuristic / Action / Adventure / Interracial / Multicultural]

SUPER FAST REVIEW:
For some reason I thought this was a normal sci-fi action adventure! Then at the beginning of the audiobook I heard the sexual content and language warning... now I figured that I know some sci-fi stories include such content so thought very little of it (though I don’t know if I’ve actually ever heard an explicit content warning at the beginning of an audiobook).
Yeah well, this is borderline sci-fi porn.
I say borderline because there is still a plot. The plot is simple but fun.
The sex scenes actually are my main problem with it. I’m no prude and they are actually pretty hot but at the same time add very little to the plot and feel kinda out of nowhere, kinda felt like the author would have written a standard sci-fi thriller but knew this would sell more so went with it.
Overall though it’s not bad, good way to pass some time but don’t expect great literature.
3/5

I’m a little disappointed in myself for listening to the whole thing. The smut was decent, but here’s the list of things I really disliked:
1: significant fat phobia— main character spends a lot of time being repulsed by fat people. To be fair, she’s also repulsed by other people, but it just seemed very focused on how gross she finds people.
2: stupid plot holes. Literally comes over to a guy and is like — we’ve got the get to ice caves right now, he’s getting away! And then is like — ooh, you’re my nemesis, let’s have a drink. Then let’s go back to the hotel to get the critical gear that I didn’t bring with me. Oh never mind, let’s have sex and turn in for the night. It was very confusing.
3: the main character is distinctly unlikeable. And also seems totally incompetent as a bounty hunter. Super annoying. If she’s going to be a terrible person with a lot of arrogance, I wish she was at least good at her job.
4:and!!!! The bad guy is a chameleon— literal cold blooded lizard. So he’s way better at surviving in subzero temperatures. uh. No. Reptiles go into torpor and hibernate when they get too cold. This is dumb.
Ugh.
